If the pump hums and does not pump the water then there is a probability that the pump does not pump. Usually when most pumps spoil they still hum and sound like they are functioning fine but in actual fact they have stopped working. First get the pump checked out if it has water supply intact if the supply of water to the pump is okay then the pump might need replacement or fixing as this means the pump is bad.
Usually due to the cost of replacement pumps most people prefer to fix instead of just replacing, get a trusted expert to help you check if the pump is worth repairing or should just be replaced.
Hope this solution has been helpful?

I would suggest that you have a electrician check the motor and make sure that the start capacitor is still good and that the switch is ok. It could be that due to lack of use that the motor needs cleaned and oiled. Thank you.

Check the fill valve. it may have a bad seal inside or some trash in the water supply (iron or calcium deposits) may have clogged it. Do you hear water running when it's not flushing?

Grab a wire hanger and push it down there wiggle. It alot this. Usually works

You need to get in the yellow pages and look in the Bathtub section for repairman

What I would do is just overlay the existing floor with 3/4 inch 6 ply plywood'You would probably be ok without it but this will help to more evenly distribute the load.Thank you.

check the air tubing coming off the back of the motor. that tubing should connect from the air switch on the motor to the bottom of the air button on the top of your tub.
if it is not connected then it will never turn on.

You can find replacement jet trim at the following source.

Is the flapper valve slow to return to the closed postion allowing water to flow through the flush valve? Make sure the toilet flapper is moving freely and is sealing properly against the flush valve. If there is no lengthy or continual water flow in to the toilet bowl then this is not the problem.

Is the water valve on the water fill line to the toilet tank fully open? This may seem silly but it could be this simple.

Check to make sure your fill valve is opening fully. If you have an older toilet there may be some deposits that need to be cleaned way to allow free movement.

If toilet does eventually fill to the desired level, there is no leakage, water valve on fill line is fully open and fill valve is opening fully then recommend you shut off water supply, drain toilet and disconnect water fill line from the water valuve and toilet tanke to make sure there is not a blockage. If the water line and connections are clear you may need to remove the fill pipe in the tank and check for blockage. If this is very old, conisdering the cost and effort, it may be simpler to replace at this time rather than trying to extend the life.

yes. You will find a replacement pump at the following stores:

i am afraid there isn't a product out there to do that. your best solution is to have a repairman from the factory and repair the tub so it will not leak.

Hi, Dayne here,

If your tub has an air switch, it could be the push button, but more likely the air switch. Disconnect the tubing from the button and give it a light puff of air. If it turns on the pump. it is the button. If not, listen and veiw the air switch as you give it a light puff again. If the switch contactors close, the switch is probably good, and it unfortunately may be the pump. Remove and have it tested after looking for a reset or manual over ride by the air switch.

Thank you.

Most likely the problem is with the fill valve or ballcock. Will need to turn the water off to the toilet and remove the supply line that connects the water to the fill valve. then there is a nut that holds the fill valve to the bottom of the toilet tank. remove that nut and the fill valve will lift out of the tank. replace the fill valve with a reverse process and that should cure the problem.

You say you have replaced seals. I assume that you are refering to the flaper valve that controls dumping water from tank to bowl to flush. To make sure you have a good seal put a dozen or so drops of food coloring directly into tank when it's full and observe for a hour or so to see if water in bowl is discoloring. If it is then you are still leaking there. You can shut off water supply off or flush toilet and manually hold flush valve closed. Check to see if there are any rough spots on flapper seal that could stop flapper from sealing good. If you find rough spot then make sure the surface is dry and sand lightly with medium grit sandpaper.120 grit or finer.
One other thing to check is if your toilet has the plastic or rubber tube that goes from the flush valve into the overflow. Make sure that this tube does not set below water level in tank when it is full as this can create a suction or syphon,
Hope this helps you. Thanks

You can order from the American Standard website:

You can also search for a retailer/distributor near you who will probably carry replacement parts. See here:

sounds like maybe the jet faces are turned off. see if they turn one way or the other and they may open and spew water out for you.

This is normal very a short period of time. if is continues your motor may be going out.
